Miami Dade College (MDC) has announced a new associate degree and certificate program will start in the fall of 2019. The MDC collaboration with Amazon Web Services (AWS) was first announced at AWS re: Invent in Las Vegas, the college said in a statement.
“I’m very excited that we are bringing more education on cloud computing directly to our students here at MDC,” said Antonio Delgado, dean of MDC’s School of Engineering, Technology, and Design.
“Cloud computing is quickly becoming the new normal for companies of all shapes and sizes. Our collaboration with Amazon Web Services will provide our students with in-depth, project-based learning opportunities and access to leading AWS technology, giving them a competitive advantage in obtaining these in-demand, high-paying jobs.”
MDC will offer the new programs within its existing Associate in Science in Networking Services Technology.
In related news, Dr. Elodie Billionniere, associate professor at MDC’s InterAmerican Campus, received a National Science Foundation Advanced Technological Education grant for developing and implementing new educational pathways in cloud computing.
“While the program is open to all students, this joint effort has the potential to increase the number of certified cloud computing experts from underrepresented minority groups to meet local and national workforce needs related to technology,” Dr. Billionniere said in the statement.
